:Hi Kyla,
Don't know where you live (I live in Colorado) and it has been really hot here. My russian has also slowed down on eating... It might help if you look further down on the posting
"Picky Eater or is it the heat"
Don't know where you live, but if it is hot...
Could be the reason.
mine goes back and forth... One day he eats really good (like he did when I first got him about 2 1/2 mos ago) and the next couple days only eats enough to stay alive... He is pooping and active - when he is not napping - comes out later in the day when it is cooler. I think he is just fine... But you might what to check out those posts. Let me know if they help!

I've had a Russian tortoise since May. He is now eating only about 1/3 of the amount he used to. Is this normal because of the time of year, or could it be an indication that he is sick?
